After much thought, we have decided to discontinue the mYAMAdventure program. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide the program the attention it needs to function in the way we envision. Much thanks to all those who have been involved over the years. We're proud to have helped get 18 hikers on the PCT who've collectively raised over $21,000 to support the PCTA. Moving forward, we will continue to seek other ways to support those protecting and enjoying our trail systems.~Gen & YAMA Mountain Gear

mYAMAdventure is a program established by YAMA Mountain Gear to help aspiring long-distance hikers, and give back to those protecting our trail systems.

YAMA Mountain Gear and other partners provide some of the needed gear for your hike!

If you dream of thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), but are a little uneasy about the proposition of hiking 2,660 some miles from Mexico to Canada, the mYAMAdventure program may be just what you need to make it happen. With this program, we aim to help aspiring long­-distance hikers while giving back to those protecting our trail systems.

mYAMAdventure connects participating hikers with mentors experienced in long­-distance hikes. Mentors share knowledge and advice during the planning process and address several important topics. Gear makers who have teamed up with mYAMAdventure provide some of the needed gear. In return, each hiker is asked to fundraise for the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA), with a group goal to raise $11,500. Participating hikers share photos and stories from their journey in hopes of inspiring others to pursue their own dreams, perhaps even embark on their own long hike someday.

Fundraise for the PCTA!

It's important that our trails remain for future generations to enjoy. That's why our hikers fundraise for the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA); to help them protect, preserve and promote the trail.
